With 24 hours and 30 minutes until it’s the start of the JAE weekend, we’re all ready and raring to go! Planning has been ongoing for about 8 months solid and now we’re starting to see the fruits of the struggles.

It’s going to be another weekend of looking our best, having a good time, polishing the vans and drinking. Did I mention drinking? Our founder Karl has his van in for the Show N Shine this year; so if you get a chance to drop in to the Arena (or even purchase a Saturday ticket), head in to the Arena and get up close and personal to see what it’s all about!

There will be a lot of pictures and video coming, keep an eye on the Instagram account for sure, it’ll be one to follow for the next few weeks!

After our old host decided to simply pack up and disappear (lé poof) we had no choice but to go to our new server a month early. Well, this is that. We haven’t fixed HTTPS connection just yet, so expect that to quietly come back soon, however as always you connection data is still secure and all information is stored in encrypted databases.

So, the new server! It can handle more traffic, more members, more files, it’s just better… I mean, it’s a new server… Bigger… More powerful… It’s the VQ35 of the EOC server world…

Should anything be wrong, as always feel free to get in touch with our always helpful admin team on Facebook or the Forums. We are Karl, Matt (Seven), Ellis (Headless), Jim (LLGrandJ), Mark, Alan (Rapperfrapper), Brian (BMR) and Robin (MrRob_in).

Aaaaalso – thanks to everyone who made JAE 2017 our best one yet! The EOC is definitely the best Owner’s Club I’ve been with. Good people, good music and good times. We’ll see you again at the next one!

Well it’s been a long time coming, but we have now moved the whole website over to HTTPS. What does this mean? It means the site now has an additional layer of security to ensure that any personal details you enter into any of the EOC webpages is kept safe (email addresses, passwords, names etc).

This will also help to improve our Google search ranking as it has become a criteria for Google to rank based on the security of the website.

Whether this means anything to you or not, this is a huge step in the right direction for the club!

Welcome to Elgrand OC, the Nissan Elgrand owner’s club by the enthusiasts, for anyone! Karl and our host did a fantastic job of ironing out the errors in our server and forum-based community, the place is running so much smoother and looks way better as a whole. Matt “Seven” is working on building a new landing page and forum banner to bring the website right in to 2017 – tidier, easier to navigate and better showcase the community.

Join us on the Forums or Facebook to get involved – we look forward to meeting you online and at our various meets across the UK!

Well, after some rocky roads, ElgrandOC is now on a new server and running better than ever. Unfortunately there was some data lost in the migration, so we are currently rebuilding the site. The forum is up and running, and will be worked on in the coming weeks. We also need to get the shop and the wiki back online, this will be done in due course, so please bear with is.

We really hope that the new server provides a much better user experience for you guys, there has certainly been a HUGE improvement. It’s been tough going to get to this point, but as ever, the team have worked as hard as possible to keep things running as smoothly as possible.

Welcome to ElgrandOC, the UK (and international) Elgrand Owners Club. Our aim is simple - to be easy to access, easy to use, and most importantly FREE and OPEN TO ALL. This forum, and all of the websites associated with ElgrandOC.uk are open to everyone. There is no content here hidden behind a mask of […]

For anyone looking to renew their insurance or you are looking at insurance for your pending arrival, check out GreenLight Insurance. I was recommended to them by @Madfish a few months ago when he renewed as they gave him an exceptional quote. I have now just renewed my insurance with these guys and they knocked […]

As requested, we have now installed a chat room feature. This will NOT replace the current PM system, but gives you guys somewhere to chat amongst yourselves whilst you're browsing the forum. You will now see in the Navigation Bar (top of screen, or down left side under the menu button on mobiles) an option […]

As the club has grown over the past few years, and with the increased "guest" users browsing the forum, the admin team have decided to make a few changes. This weekend, the forum will now be CLOSED to all GUESTS. This means, if you do not have a registered account, you will no longer be […]

For those of you who have used it, the previous member map was a manual update process. It was quite time consuming and all in all, a pain in the ass to keep on top of. This evening I have found an add on for the forum that automatically updates the map. Wahoo! This only […]

Now then, in another attempt to keep the forum working as efficiently as possible, and keep everything up to date, there has been a new feature installed. For the Social Areas, and the Newbie Introduction forum, there will now be an AUTO DELETE function. Any threads that have not been commented on for more than […]

All, I have, yesterday, received my first legal threat from a company who had a negative review left on this forum. This is NOT a joke. We all know that a bad review of a dealer is just as important as a good one, but we also know that companies do not want their name […]

I have just had to ban a member for persistently breaking this rule, so I will highlight it now for all to see. We don't have many rules within EOC, but one of them is that politics and religion are kept OUT of the club. These are hot topics of discussion and can tear a […]

After both Sue and myself got a really nasty bout of gastro enteritis a few weeks back I would like to say a Thank You for all the messages sent to us. Sue is back at work on reduced hours and I am slowly starting to get back to how I was before we were […]

After months of begging, I got worn down and I have finally agreed to accept @RobP as the latest member of the ElgrandOC team. OK, I lie, it was me who asked and he who accepted 😂 You all know him. You all know his Elgrand. He's the life and soul of the party, seems […]
